Windswept by Charles Sowers
Art installation fixed outside a gallery’s wall, displaying natural flow and turbulence of the wind - via dezeen:
Hundreds of spinning blades reveal the invisible patterns of the wind in American artist Charles Sowers’ kinetic installation on the facade of the Randall Museum in San Francisco.
The installation, titled Windswept, consists of 612 rotating aluminium weather vanes mounted on an outside wall. As gusts of wind hit the wall, the aluminium blades spin not as one but independently, indicating the localised flow of the wind and the way it interacts with the building.
“Our ordinary experience of wind is as a solitary sample point of a very large invisible phenomenon,” said Sowers. “Windswept is a kind of large sensor array that samples the wind at its point of interaction with the Randall Museum building and reveals the complexity and structure of that interaction.”
You can find out more at Dezeen here, with photos and a video of the work in action.

Form Constant via hopesicle
Custom Software + modified $40 web-cam + infra-red + dance = interactive dance visual performance. Really starts getting interesting with flow dynamics around 2:02 mark:
Form Constant is a collaboration between dancer/choreographer Hope Goldman and her partner, visual artist/programmer Andrew Moffat. It was performed live in March 2010 in the Studio Dance 1 Concert at the Krannert Center the Performing Arts as Goldman’s Master’s thesis show.
To perform the real-time tracking and effects, the piece uses infrared lighting and a custom-modded, $40 webcam along with custom software running on the GPU.
The choreography was influenced by the ideas of fluid dynamics and the energetic quality of the imagery.

Visualizing The Flow Of Money (via PSFK)
Christian Thiemann and Daniel Grady of the Northwestern University have been mapping migration patterns across America using the flow of dollar bills in the country. They used the data from Where’s George, a site where entering a dollar bill’s serial number can track its journey as other people spend it across the country.
The researchers demonstrated their project through a video which shows bills stretching out from county to county and showing interesting patterns.

Exploring the Bowieverse:
Space Oddity
I got inspired by all of these song flowcharts and decided to make one for Space Oddity. But as I was working, it started to take on the look of a Wired or Discover magazine diagram. I went with it.
